Abstract: A method for heat sealing a portion of an upper heat sealable thermoplastic membrane (10) to a portion of a lower heat sealable thermoplastic membrane (12) which comprises placing a detachable stabilizer strip (20) on the outer surface of the upper membrane over the over-lap seam portions to be sealed. The stabilizer strip (20) must fully adhere or have mechanical contact to retain the dimen­sional stability of the upper membrane while maintaining the relative positions of the membranes. A hot air medium is directed between the upper and lower membranes thereby effecting a heat seal therebetween. Once the overlapped and sealed portions of the membranes are permitted to cool, the stabilizer strip may be removed.

Abstract: In a master latch circuit (11), first and second master resistors (36, 37) have their one ends connected to first and second master nodes (26, 27), respectively, and their other ends connected collectively to a power supply lead (16) through a common master resistor (86). As a slave input signal, one of signals latched at the master nodes as a master output signal is delivered to a slave latch circuit (12) for providing a slave output signal at one of first and second slave nodes (46, 47). Preferably, first, second as well as common master resistors have a resistance value which is equal to a half of a slave resistance value of each of slave resistors (56, 57). This forecuts slave transistors (41, 43) from being saturated and decrease the dynamic range of the master output signal thereby speeding up the switching of the flip-flop.

Title: Fly-wheel for shift transmission
Inventor: WINKELMANN HEINRICH
IPC: F16H55/06
Filed: 1988-09-24
Abstract: In the case of a flywheel for gear-changing transmissions, having a flywheel disc produced in one piece from cold-formed sheet metal and having an external tooth system, it is intended to provide a solution which significantly reduces the total weight of a flywheel of the relevant type while maintaining adequate strength both in the disc region as well as in the region of the external tooth system corresponding to the respectively occurring forces. This is achieved in that the external tooth system (3a;3b) is formed from an edge region of the sheet-metal blank which is thickened with respect to the same before said system is formed such that the cross-section of the external tooth system is larger than the cross-section of a correspondingly long annular zone having the sheet-metal thickness of the sheet-metal blank. <IMAGE>

The appropriate conversion table (A1,A2) is selected in accordance with the positive or negative polarity of the integrated DSV value, which is updated at the time of each conversion. The code conversion is then performed in such a manner that the integrated DSV value converges on zero.

Abstract: A boat hull or part thereof is produced by applying layers of curable resin to a mould or former and curing the resin in the mould or on the former. A layer of a non-­biocidal antifouling material is applied to the mould, or to the outermost layer of resin if using a former, so that the non-biocidal antifouling material forms the outermost layer of the boat hull. A non-biocidal antifouling material used as the outermost underwater surface of a boat hull has fine grooves extending in the longitudinal direc­tion of the hull. The grooves can be formed by applying the non-biocidal antifouling material to a grooved mould when using the process described above. Alternatively the underwater surface of a boat hull can be clad with a grooved non-biocidal antifouling material.
